First look at the new Singapore Oceanarium at Resorts World Sentosa
Find out what's new on ST website and app. SINGAPORE – When the Singapore Oceanarium opens its doors to the public on July 24, you can see a pop culture sensation in the flesh: the albino axolotl. This charming creature – with its pastel pink skin, wide-set eyes and 'feathery' gills that frame a seemingly smiling face – has captivated children and youth since its inclusion in the video game Minecraft in 2021, leading to a surge in demand for axolotl plush toys. Sharing its habitat is another axolotl with a mottled brown-grey body. Beyond the thrill of seeing these real-life axolotls, you can learn about this critically endangered salamander species, native to the lakes and wetlands of Mexico. These axolotls are among the new additions to the former S.E.A. Aquarium. After 12 years of operation, it closed for renovation on April 30 and is now triple its former size. At the Conquering Land zone, see a pop culture sensation in the flesh: the albino axolotl. ST PHOTO: LIM YAOHUI The expanded space is divided into 22 zones, each telling a story about the ocean's past, present and future. One of the first zones visitors will encounter is Ocean Wonders, home to sea jellies which are known to be ancient survivors that have existed for more than 500 million years. Top stories Swipe.

Cylindrical habitats offer a 360-degree view of various species, such as the fried egg sea jellies, named for their distinctive white and yellow bells. There are also more than 1,000 moon jellies in a 6.8m-diameter kreisel tank, a specialised tank for delicate marine creatures, which offers a mesmerising backdrop for Instagram-loving visitors. The axolotls can be found in the Conquering Land zone, which features other endangered species such as the Titicaca water frog. The Singapore's Coast zone looks set to be another popular area, offering an unique experience of an 'intertidal walk' without getting your shoes wet. Discover an array of local marine life in the tanks, such as spotted seahorses, pencil urchins and bumblebee snails.

Italy museum hunts for tourists in viral chair-smashing video
Video footage showed the chair buckling under the weight of a male tourist who appeared to stumble backwards onto the chair as he was posing for a photo. PHOTO: AFP ROME - An Italian museum has launched a manhunt for the most unlikely of outlaws – two clumsy middle-aged tourists who managed to almost wreck a work of art while posing for photos. Video footage released by Palazzo Maffei showed the hapless pair photographing each other pretending to sit on a crystal-covered chair made by the artist Nicola Bolla – described by the museum as an 'extremely fragile' work. While the woman squats but does not seem to touch the work – known as Van Gogh's Chair and covered in Swarovski crystals – the man is not so careful, sitting and then stumbling backwards as the seat buckles under his weight. The pair can then be seen fleeing the room, in a post that went viral over the weekend. Palazzo Maffei described it as 'every museum's nightmare' and told AFP on June 16 it had made a complaint to the police, without specifying when it was filed. The museum posted an account on social media on June 12 saying the incident had happened fewer than four weeks ago and the chair had since been repaired. 'It was an idiotic thing to do,' Mr Bolla told Italian magazine Fanpage. But the artist added that he could also see a 'positive side' to the incident. 'It's like a kind of performance. Ordinary people can do it too, not just artists.' AFP Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.
